Welcome to Our Fifth Grade Gallery!
This stage, marked by caution and self-criticism, is the most critical stage of artistic development. Students show interest in detail, perspective, subtle use of color, and art techniques. Their interest in art moves from solely one of personal expression to consciously improving the quality of visual forms. A student’s artwork is inspired by visual stimuli, subjective experiences, and interpretations drawn from imagination or from observation. At this level, students are interested in learning how things work and desire more in-depth information about the concepts, skills, and strategies practiced in earlier grades.
Projects will last one to five class periods. Experiencing the role of the artist, each student applies media, techniques, and processes to develop basic skills and increase confidence. Through experience in a range of art processes, use of a variety of materials, and development of a repertoire of techniques, the student relates process, material, and technique to the communication of ideas. Media/techniques include, but are not limited to, drawing, painting, sculpture, fiber arts, printmaking, and digital media art techniques. Our fifth grade students are engaged in well-rounded whole class and independent study studio art experiences.
